Anna Faris discusses religious debates with son Jack, son of Chris Pratt

Actress Anna Faris said on the "Dear Chelsea" podcast that she regularly discusses religion with her 14-year-old son Jack, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Pratt. Faris, who was not raised religious, noted that Jack has asked her to accept Jesus Christ and that she is willing to have "a whole lot of long conversations" about his beliefs.

She described Jack as emotionally steady, which allows her to question his views, asking, for example, whether being pro-life is a "luxury" and what he thinks of a prominent pastor she considers a "grifter." Faris said Jack is beginning to recognize hypocrisy in religious teachings and that she appreciates his willingness to examine his faith.

Pratt, who has spoken publicly about his Christian faith, previously linked his religious convictions to a near-fatal experience when Jack was born nine weeks premature and suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. In a 2025 essay, Pratt wrote that he prayed for Jack's survival and promised to devote his life to sharing God’s message if his son lived.

Pratt, now married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, has three children with her, while Faris married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021 and is stepmother to his daughter. Faris is currently promoting her new comedy film "Spa Weekend."
